UNESCO highlights education as a force for sustainable development
Brazil, UNESCO and the UN launch Global Initiative for Information Integrity on Climate Change
During the G20 in Rio de Janeiro, the Brazilian government, UNESCO and the United Nations launched a joint effort Tuesday to strengthen research and measures to address disinformation seeking to delay and derail climate action. The Global Initiative for Information Integrity on Climate Change is an important intervention to boost support for urgent climate action at a time when scientists are warning that the world is running out of time.
Decisive leadership in education urgently needed
The new findings in the 2024/5 Global Education Monitoring Report: Lead for learning just released show that adolescents are less likely to be able to read with understanding now than a decade ago.
The number of children out-of-school has only fallen by 1% since 2015. Today, 251 million children and youth remain out of school worldwide, while 650 million leave school without a secondary school certificate.
